Physicians have an important role in identifying suitable patients and recommending vocational rehabilitation as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation treatment. This article provides an overview of the use of vocational rehabilitation in the treatment of various patients with different types of illnesses and suggests criteria for selecting appropriate patients for involvement in vocational rehabilitation. The review presents the current state of vocational rehabilitation, its possibilities, limitations, and challenges for further development. One of the main challenges is the potential use of vocational rehabilitation for patients on temporary disability leave. Although employment law has allowed this possibility for 20 years, in practice, the tool of vocational rehabilitation has not yet been used for this group of individuals. The article also brings new findings revealed by research conducted within an experimental project that pilot tested the concept of so-called \"vocational rehabilitation centers.\" The research showed, among other things, that the early involvement of individuals with disabilities in vocational rehabilitation, combined with a multidisciplinary approach, more than triples their chances of obtaining or retaining employment.</p>","PeriodicalId":9645,"journal":{"name":"Casopis lekaru ceskych","volume":"163 4","pages":"155-158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142280717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although akathisia is quite common extrapyramidal adverse effect, it is often overlooked or mistaken for restlessness or agitation of another etiology. Drugs associated with the risk of extrapyramidal adverse effects (antipsychotics, antiemetics, antidepressants) belong to frequently used pharmacotherapy. The use of these drugs is often complicated by serious condition of a patient and several other comorbidities, which increase the risk of the aforementioned adverse effects. In many situations, akathisia can be more difficult to recognize and more easily attributed to non-drug etiology, especially outside the fields of psychiatry and neurology. The variability of the clinical symptoms and the similarity to other clinical entities that occur frequently (anxiety, delirium, agitated depression, restless legs syndrome, etc.) can lead to difficult determination of the etiology and to the administration of medication, which tends to worsen the problem.

This phenomenon, most referred as nonadherence, leads to suboptimal treatment response and increased healthcare costs. To detect nonadherence, in addition to indirect methods, we also use direct methods that detect the presence of the drug in patient's body. However, by simple assessment based on the presence or the absence of a measurable concentration of the drug or its metabolite in a blood sample, it is difficult to distinguish complete adherence from partial adherence, i.e., a situation where the patient takes the drug irregularly, or from masked adherence, where the patient takes his medicine only once before a medical appointment. A possible refinement may be allowed using pharmacokinetic simulations, which estimate whether the measured value corresponds to the expected drug level after a single or short-term administration, or whether it represents steady state confirming long-term adherence. Not only an analysis of a parent drug, but also its metabolite with more favourable pharmacokinetic properties (especially with longer half-life) can be used. Since, in many cases, nonadherence can be caused by several different reasons, multiple approaches in its detection and management are required and a multidisciplinary approach should be involved.</p>","PeriodicalId":9645,"journal":{"name":"Casopis lekaru ceskych","volume":"163 1","pages":"18-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142709314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
